The American Cancer Society’s annual Relay For Life of Tri-Town will be held June 13-14 from 5:00 pm Friday to 12:00 pm on Saturday at Old Rochester Regional High School in Mattapoisett.
The Relay For Life is an event when teams made up of local community members take turns walking around a track. Since cancer never sleeps, Relays are an overnight event. Teams do most of their fundraising prior to the event, but some teams also hold creative fundraisers at their campsites during Relay. The dollars raised through Relay For Life events help to fund the American Cancer Society’s vital cancer research, education, advocacy, and patient service programs to defeat this disease.
Last year, the Relay For Life of Tri-Town was able to raise more than $40,000 and included many teams made up of family, friends, cancer survivors, and those passionate in the fight against cancer.
Are you a cancer survivor? We would love to honor you at our Survivors’ dinner being held on June 13 at 5:00 pm at Old Rochester Regional High School in Mattapoisett.

Join us at 6:00 pm for the opening ceremonies where survivors and caregivers kick off the night with the first lap around the track.
